<h3><a name="acvar"></a>Manage substitution variables with the administrative console</h3>
|

|
|
|

|
|
<p>In WebSphere Application Server - Express, you can use substitution variables to represent values in configuration files. For example, the variable LOG_ROOT represents the value /QIBM/UserData/WebASE/ASE5/<em>instance</em>/logs, where <em>instance</em> is the name of your instance. To change the location of the log files for your instance, change the value of the LOG_ROOT variable to the new path.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>You can define variables for the cell, node, and server scopes. A variable applies to all configuration files in the scope for which it is defined. For example, WebSphere Application Server - Express defines the APP_INSTALL_ROOT variable for the node scope. The value defined for the node applies to all application servers within that node. If variables in multiple scopes have the same name, the variable with the narrowest scope takes precedence.</p>
